  • Yet another terrible Boston podcast

    This is just like every other podcast on bruins hockey, not including morning bru in that list, and coming from a diehard Boston sports fan all these amateur podcasters are so negative and can’t see it through anyone else’s perspective. This podcast would be completely unlistenable if it weren’t for Bridget. She’s the only one of the three that actually sounds like she knows what she’s talking about. The Brian guy is an absolute moron and listening to him stutter through a thought is beyond crin... more

  • Raw Product

    It seems that the fans of the Boston Bruins are not worthy of a truly high quality podcast. On one side of the ring, The Morning BRU, in which Jaffe and Razor seem to be sorely lacking the caffeine infusion needed to avoid their sleepy, rambling podcast that seems totally off the cuff and without concise thought. On the other side, we have this podcast, the Skate, which presents three energized and intelligent hosts but is so horribly edited it is difficult to listen to. Commercials are inter... more

  • Turn it up!

    Really good podcast, but please, please turn the mics up! I have to turn the volume all the way up and can still barely hear it.

  • Amateur Hour

    In a world in need of good/great hockey podcasts, this isn’t one. From audio issues to rambling segments, this is more often than not, unlistenable. In the most recent episode, they were lamenting not being able to figure out how to go live to cover Monty’s firing and not willing to pay for “X Premium” to do so…amateur hour.

  • Stop laughing my god

    Would be good but the women on the show can’t go 5 seconds without laughing at her own not funny things she says. I don’t get it. Maybe it’s a nervous thing but she just laughs at things that aren’t even funny. No one laughs but her.

The Skate Pod, Ep. 534: Who's in, who's out come trade deadline? (Mailbag)
Q: Do you expect Monty to still be the head coach of the Blues next season?
It's likely he survives through the end of the season, but the team has to reassess his position in the offseason based on performance.
The Skate Pod, Ep. 534: Who's in, who's out come trade deadline? (Mailbag)

The current leader is Fraser Minton, who has exceeded expectations this season and established himself as a significant contributor.
The Skate Pod, Ep. 526: Bruins' blowout loss to Stars & Sweeney's deadline approach (Mini-Mailbag)
Q: Do you think there's any chance the Bruins could move on from Housdinov or Sean Coralli before the trade deadline?

The Skate Pod, Ep. 526: Bruins' blowout loss to Stars & Sweeney's deadline approach (Mini-Mailbag)
Q: How much of Geekie's prolonged slump would you attribute to him being on lines where he's the guy the defense focuses on first, instead of Pastrnak?
It's more to do with what Geekie's not doing and what other teams are doing on him. He's not showing enough hunger to snap out of his slump.
The Skate Pod, Ep. 512: McAvoy says Bruins have better chemistry this year; Author Mike Commito joins the pod
Q: Mike, how did you come up with the idea for this book?
I started sharing daily hockey history facts on Twitter, which inspired me to compile those into a book format.
